*Note that teams can move up and down five spots at most.
1(2)-Arizona Cardinals-(7-1)-Many give the Patriots the advantage here, but the Cardinals have the better streak, in a harder division, and find ways to win no matter what.
2(5)-Philadelphia Eagles-(6-2)-Nick Foles went down, but that is exactly why the Eagles didn't trade Mark Sanchez who played great in the preseason and this past Sunday.
3(7)-New England Patriots-(6-2)-The Patriots are now the best team in the AFC and Tom Brady is the MVP favorite according to an ESPN experts survey.
4(1)-Denver Broncos-(6-2)-Is it really that surprising of a loss? Looking at the Broncos team, you can clearly see they have some big flaws and are not as good as a few NFC teams.
5(3)-Seattle Seahawks-(5-3)-This week the Seahawks are the 5th ranked team and last week they were the 3rd. Interesting coincidence that is similar to their 5-3 record.
6(8)-Indianapolis Colts-(6-3)-The Colts got the win they much needed on Monday night after a bad loss last week to the Steelers.
7(9)-Detroit Lions-(6-2)-The Lions are coming rested off a bye, and face Miami.
8(6)-Dallas Cowboys-(6-3)-The Cowboys have now lost two straight games and many are wondering if this team is still legitimate Superbowl contenders, or can even make the playoffs.
9(4)-San Diego Chargers-(5-4)-The Chargers dropped five spots after being shut out by the Dolphins.
10(12)-Kansas City Chiefs-(5-3)-The Chiefs have played well as of late and crack the top ten this week.
11(13)-Green Bay Packers-(5-3)-The Packers play the Bears this week in the NFL's most historic rivalry.
12(11)-San Francisco 49ers-(4-4)-49er fans are really living up to the nickname "The Whiners" after this week's defeat.
13(18)-Pittsburgh Steelers-(6-3)-Is Tom Brady really the MVP? Ben Roethlisberger is the reason the Steelers are even above .500.
14(14)-Cincinnati Bengals-(5-2-1)-The AFC North really is the most fun division to watch this year.
15(10)-Baltimore Ravens-(5-4)-Three AFC North teams in a row..
16(15)-New Orleans Saints-(4-4)-It is amazing that the Saints are now in control of their division without a winning record, and starting the season of horribly.
17(17)-Buffalo Bills-(5-3)-The Bills come off a bye and face a nice but winnable challenge in the form of Kansas City.
18(19)-Cleveland Browns-(5-3)-All teams in the AFC North have at least five wins. This could be Cleveland's year to make the playoffs.
19(21)-Miami Dolphins-(5-3)-Miami continues to make a push and strong case for the playoffs.
20(16)-New York Giants-(3-5)-Eli Manning lost again to the Colts, but it is in the spirit of the Giants to look like their season is lost and then make a push for the wildcard.
21(20)-Carolina Panthers-(3-5-1)-The Panthers are collapsing before our eyes.
22(22)-Houston Texans-(4-5)-The Texans have lost four out of their last five games after starting the season 3-1.
23(26)-Minnesota Vikings-(4-5)-The Vikings have surprised as of late and are just one game under .500.
24(23)-Chicago Bears-(3-5)-The Bears have a must win game in Green Bay. They did it last year.
25(24)-Washington Redskins-(3-6)-RGIII's game back was spoiled and some people were calling for the return of hot handed Colt McCoy.
26(27)-St. Louis Rams-(3-5)-The Rams have beaten Seattle and San Francisco within the past three weeks.
27(25)-Atlanta Falcons-(2-6)-It seem likely that Mike Smith will no longer be with the Falcons at the start of next season.
28(28)-Tennessee Titans-(2-6)-The Titans can reasonably be the upset of the week this week as they play Baltimore.
29(29)-New York Jets-(1-8)-The only team the Jets beat this year was the Raiders back in week one.
30(30)-Tampa Bay Buccaneers-(1-7)-You have to wonder if the Bucs will clean house despite Lovie Smith's first year as coach.
31(31)-Jacksonville Jaguars-(1-8)-The last three teams can be interchangeable.
32(32)-Oakland Raiders-(0-8)-St. Louis looks like the only winnable team left to beat on their schedule.
